Well i finally got some motiviation to put the pro-stars on the other day to see what they looked like, still need new slicks cause those ones on there are JUNK and the passenger side one wouldn't even hold air for like 10 mins lol. BUt here are a few i snapped, still need to do some more polishing on them wheels though....





Wheel specs,
backs- 15x8 with 5.5BS - Tire is a 26x10.50 et drag
fronts- 15x3.5 with 1.75BS - tires are 26x7.50 sportsmans

It looks good, why aren't you running the caps in the back?? I've noticed a lot of people don't run them in the rear.

most just dont like the way they look in the rear the axle and all just look cool enough and most peeps run the cheaper version like jegs or summit and those caps suck...but they look awesome even with out caps

people dont run them in the rear because some track techs check to make sure you have axles in your car when have slicks and skinnys and who the hell wants to pull a tire off just to prove that

Well there are two reasons i dont run any centercaps in the back, one i dont have any, bought them without any lol, and two i think it looks better.

On the back ya i had to grind a bit but up front right now i just have a spacer so no grinding but i'm deciding whether to put ARP studs (longer) or to grind them down.

Thanks for all the compliments

Looking good. I'm going to take my caps and cut them down semi-flush. I always thought the caps sticking out so much looked a little off.

Working on it, got a set of front springs i can get for 50 bucks, i like how the back sits right now on my street rims and tires and i dont want to mess with my lauches, only spring going out back will be qa1 coil overs but thats along time from now. I got Comp. Eng drag shocks in there now and it seemed to drop the back a bit so i'll get those front springs to even it out a bit

Why would you drop it? I thought lowered cars didn't launch well?

it all depends on your setup but yes lowered cars will and can launch better than a non lowered vehicle

thats why i'm on the fence about it, i'm not gonna mess with the back for sure and dont really know about the front either.

What do you guys think? would lowering the front 1.5" affect my launches and 60's real bad?
